A denial of service attack (DoS attack) is an attempt to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users. Although the means by which a DoS attack is carried out vary, the ultimate goal is always to prevent legitimate users from accessing the service or resource they have legitimate access to. DoS attacks are often carried out by flooding the target with requests that it cannot handle, resulting in the target being unable to respond to legitimate requests. In some cases, attackers may also target specific components of the system in order to disable them, such as by targeting a specific server or database. While DoS attacks can be conducted against any type of system, they are most commonly seen against web servers and network infrastructure devices such as routers and switches.

Malware is another major concern for companies using cloud-based applications. Malware can infect an application and spread throughout a company's network, causing damage and disrupting business operations. Malware is a type of software that is designed to damage or disable computers and computer systems. Malware can be used to steal personal information, delete files, or take control of a system. Malware is often spread through email attachments or by visiting malicious websites.
